testifying it was tamerlan who was religious and belligerent.lled the imam a hypocrite because the imam suggested the muslims in the u.s. should be involved in holidays like thanksgiving and revere martin luther king. one of the key witnesses was tamerlan tsarnaev's mother-in-law. she testified she was not in favor of the relationship. her daughter katharine marrying tamerlan after the couple became pregnant with their first and only child. now as for the rest the defense really set out to show that tsarnaev's family was dysfunctional. the tsarnaev parents had psychiatric disorders. when they returned to dagestan operate separately tamerlan took dzokhar under his wing and led him down the path to the bombing. >> deborah feyerick in boston. >>> we are following breaking news in baltimore. riots breakingysteriously injured during an arrest. we have that and the latest on baltimore ahead. >>> we are learning new information about the student tackled by a teacher when he opened fire inside his high school. next. >>> a state of emergency now in effec

and the defense said he took part in this but his brother tamerlan masterminded it and without tamerlan there might not have been a boston marathon bombing in 2013. we'll see if the jury has to be swayed in the next phase. they say there is no disputing the who, what where and when but it is about the why and they are going to put tamerlan tsarnaev on trial and that by all accounts that dzokhar tsarnaev as a child was a good student and going to college, something happened. his grades sank and suddenly he was online and looking at radical things that the government put on display here during the trial. so the penalty phase is going to be very interesting. it could last as long as the trial itself. we understand there will be a lot of witnesses called and hear victims address the court and how this has impact the their lives so this is another painful process for the victims and the families wanting to take part. back to you. >> and karen brassard the victim described dzokhar tsarnaev in the court report arrogant and dirs interested -- disinterested, is that what you perceived and heard

that tamerlan called the shots in the evil plan. their evidence? tamerlan's fingerprints, not dzhokhar's, on rolls of tape, a caulking gun, a soldering gun and a jar of nails. possibly bomb-making supplies, all found in the tsarnaev family home. tamerlan's prints also on this lid from the pressure cooker bomb in watertown. and tamerlan's computer, not dzhokhar's showing searches for "detonator," "fireworks firing system" and "boston marathon." on the younger brother's computer? typical teenage stuff. facebook and vk, the russian facebook. and it's that side of dzhokhar tsarnaev the defense will likely highlight, as they fight for his life in sentencing. the impressionable little brother, just two years out of high school. not the committed terrorist on a mission to murder. david, tsarnaev's lawyers only called four witnesses, compared to more than 90 by the prosecution. closing arguments start on monday. david? >> all right, thank you, tom. >>> now, to pictures coming in at this hour in the west. a wildfire burning dangerously close to homes near s

very different actions than his brother tamerlan. do you think the jury looking at that may say, the death penalty is a fitting punishment for someone like this. >> there's no question if we look at this analytically this is a death penalty case. death penalty is appropriate sentence for somebody that did what they did to individuals our country, and the way they did it. judy clark's job is to try to do whatever she can to convince this jury we have to be better than what we would tomorrowly consider that vengeance we want to give retribution we want to give. what judy has done so far is plant seeds during the guilt phase. the idea of acknowledging responsibility is great. again, it's going to come back the acceptance of responsibility. something a jury can consider in determining whether or not to impose the death penalty. everything she has done has gone towards the only battle to try to convince the jury. let's be better to him than he was to us and not kill him. >> okay. let's look. in a state like massachusetts there's resistanc

in computer evidence showed that tamerlan made the bombs and he was the mastermind. his attorneys say the 21-year-old defendant did play a role and there's no excuse planting bombs in the boston marathon was a senseless act adding "but if not for tamerlan it wouldn't have happened." the jury is now weighing 30 charges. 17 of which carried the possibility of the death penalty. if tsarnaev is convicted, the sentencing phase of the trial is expected to start next week. in boston marcy gonzalez abc 7 news. autria: the murder trial against aaron hernandez is also wrapping up. lawyers are delivering closing arguments this noon. hernandez is accused in the june 2013 shooting death of oden lloyd who was dating the sister of hernandez's fiancee. he pleaded not guilty. jury is expected to get the case later today. jummy: today, we are expecting to learn whether or not a father and his seven children died from carbon monoxide poisoning. family was found inside their home on maryland's eastern shore in princess anne. they were called because the father missed work. that's when o

of course they'll look at connections between tamerlan and dzhokhar. the bulk include aiding and abetting. that's the point they want jurors to take home. the prosecution wants them to acknowledge dzhokhar played a role in the crimes and without him, this wouldn't have been what it was. >> thank you. i want to bring in our legal panel now. in new york cnn analyst and former federal prosecutor suni and robert. you have judy clark who has her work cut out for her. how does she convince the jury this was not sowdzhokhar and that they should spare his life. >> this wasn't a who done it case. it was and remains a case of why. i suspect the jury will come back on a guilty verdict on probably every single count. can judy clark convince the jury he deserves any sort of mercy? i wonder if that is possible without tsarnaev getting on the stand and showing some sort of remorse. we've been watching him in the courtroom. he hasn't been animated hasn't shown remorse. the jury, i'm quite sure has been watching him. without hearing from this defense, without hearing r

the defense came back saying he was pushed into this by his deceased older brother, tamerlan tsarnaevlonger around too over house version of events much as the defense put it today if tamerlan -- if not for tamerlan this would not have happened that is a dzhokhar was unnecessary. >> the prosecution brought 92 witnesses and the defense only four. why that difference? >> in part because the prosecution really wanted to drive home the horror of what happened that day and there were a lot of people who were traumatically affected by the bombings. for example we heard from the father of martin, the 8-year-old boy who lost his leg on a bomb that was placed behind him. we saw video of seak car standing behind him and planting the boom. but the discrepancy is also because the judge early on said that the defense could not focus on its contention that effectively dzhokhar was coerced or led into this by tamerlan until the sentencing phase of the trial. so they called a few people who were able to indirectly bolster the case they want to do make, and they kawrld a fingerprint expert in virginia

tamerlan, that's the older brother, isn't it?at the searches of the gun and things of mass destruction and all these things who did those searches? it was the older brother. so they're setting that up and reminding that jury that he was 19 years old, a college kid. and he was more interested in girls and running around than he ever would be in doing this. it's the older brother. that needs to resonate to the jury. and if one of those members, as you point out, just one says you know what perhaps he doesn't deserve the death penalty, he will not get it. >> so it's by no means based on your experience -- and you have a lot more experience in these matters than i do. based on your experience, it's by no means a slam dunk that all 12 members of this jury will decide he deserves the death penalty. that's the mystery right now, right? >> that's absolutely the mystery. you can look at this and you can say, those members who were impanelled, it's a very tough decision. it's one thing to say to a judge and to lawyers, i could apply it. it

and you knew tamerlan separately. you never were with them together. what can you share just about the relationship that these brothers had? >> what i can say is that tamerlan had a stronghold on the leadership position between himself and his sibling. he viewed himself as a leader in the household. we don't exactly know the factors that played into that but he embraced that role and took it seriously. in terms of having to transition into american culture, he was far behind compared to his siblings and it was pretty evident when he came down on them for certain things and just the importance was clearly seen of having to follow the rules or the "policies" of their religion. >> you pose a question in one of your columns, is the younger tsarnaev paying for the sins of his brother. what do you think? >> i think he is. and that term shouldn't be taken lightly, what -- we can't fail to realize is that, yes, he is an active participant, he made his own decision to participate in this. however, with the team putting the blame on the dead older brother, that'
